With Navy blue: surface crochet between the 2nd and 3rd round. This is how it goes:- Crochet between the spaces of round 2 and 3, so where the hdc's are on top of each other- Keep your yarn on the wrong side of your work- Pull up a loop, put your hook in the next space and pull up another loop. Pull this loop through the first loop on your hook, like you would making a slip stitch.>> on the bottom of this crochet pattern you can view a photo tutorial of this technique. Assembling the bag:- Wet block both handles- Place the ends of one handle in the middle on the top of the bag, with 13cm between the handle ends. The tips of the bag can overlap the striped part a little. Sew on the navy blue part of the bag, using your navy blue yarn.- Repeat on the other end of the bag with the other handle
